Our Series 14 Campaign: M.E.

M.E. (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) is our series 14 campaign. Also known as C.F.S (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), the condition affects 250,000 people in the UK, and 17 million people worldwide. 25% of sufferers are housebound or bedbound. The condition affects many body systems, but most commonly the nervous and immune systems. It causes severe persistent fatigue associated with post-exertional malaise, and the causes are still being investigated. Infections and viruses can trigger M.E., but it may also be triggered in other ways. M.E. is twice as common as Multiple Sclerosis and a report has estimated that is costing the UK economy over £3 billion in lost taxes, healthcare and benefit costs.
